John Evans Band's New Album "Lucky 13"
Fantastic new record from John Evans, showcasing the "Houston Sound". This album is quite unusual and full of surprises... everytime you think you have the album figured out, it changes direction, rides the elevator up a couple of floors and jumps out the window.
A virtuoso performance from this one of a kind singer/songwriter, tied together by producer Steve Christensen's so-very-not-Austin style.
The release was kicked off by a wonderful performance of the entire album at Houston mainstay McGonigel's Mucky Duck on Saturday, Sept. 20th. The show marked a new beginning for John Evans as well as a return to civilization for America's 4th largest city as it recovered from the devastation of Hurricane Ike.
Rock on John! Fantastic new record from John Evans, showcasing the "Houston Sound". This album is quite unusual and full of surprises... e... more -

Last year, SugarHill partnered with the Pacifica Radio Network and launched The SugarHill Sessions radio show, offering a place for local music to shine.
